Council Tax Shock: Spread Your Payments Over 12 Months, Not 10!
If your 2017/18 council tax bill has landed on your doormat, check those monthly payments. Most councils make you pay over 10 months – but did you know you’re legally entitled to spread it across 12?
Secret Council Tax Hack Exposed
Since April 2013, it’s your legal right to pay council tax in 12 monthly instalments, making those hefty bills easier to manage. Yet most councils won’t shout about this, and some hide it deep in the fine print – if they mention it at all.
How to Switch and Slash Your Monthly Costs
- Grab your council tax bill – the contact details are right there.
- Ring, email, or write to your council and ask for your bill to be spread over 12 months instead of 10.
- Your council must legally comply and send you a new payment schedule.
There’s no extra fee. No added interest. Just a sensible way to ease your monthly budget.
Act Fast – Deadlines Apply!
Councils usually have cut-off dates for changing your payment plan. So don’t delay once that bill arrives. Make the switch ASAP and enjoy a lighter monthly load.
